Farage Calls Le Pen an Antisemite, Le Pen Says It’s Slander

Sigh.  I don't know why I expected better from these two.

From the Guardian:

The French Front National leader, Marine Le Pen, has accused Nigel Farage of slander after the Ukip leader called her party antisemitic.

Farage this week rejected a suggestion from Le Pen that Ukip could join a coalition with the FN in the European parliament because of “prejudice and antisemitism” in her party – although he also said Le Pen had “got some good qualities” and was “achieving remarkable things”.

But Le Pen used an interview with the Sunday Times to hit back at the Ukip leader, saying Farage had made “defamatory” and “extremely disagreeable declarations” in an attempt to boost his popularity.

The FN leader said Farage was not in a position to cast aspersions on others. “He is often reproached for the behaviour and comments of a certain number of his party members,” she said. “Slandering your neighbour to try to make yourself look whiter than white, it’s not correct. He’s doing it simply for electoral purposes.”

The spat with Le Pen comes as Alan Sked, the founder of Ukip, gave an interview in which he described Farage as “alcoholic, dim and racist” and repeated claims – which Farage strongly denies – that the Ukip leader once referred to black people as “niggers”.

A Ukip spokesman told the Daily Mail: “Dr Sked is free to hold whatever view he likes of our party and our leader, but his repeated claim that Nigel used the ‘n-word’ is untrue and has been vigorously denied before.”

What the hell is wrong with these people?

Why would they be at each other’s throats, over nothing?

Are the collective interests of Europe not more important than their personal egos?

This is without even asking why “Antisemitism” is a bad thing.

Very disheartening.
